Neuroendoscopy and Interventional Pain Medicine Vol. 1: Regenerative Medicine & Peripheral Nerve End

Welcome to Neuroendoscopy and Interventional Pain Medicine, Vol. 1: Regenerative Medicine & Peripheral Nerve Endoscopy, a comprehensive volume that explores the latest advancements in regenerative medicine and minimally invasive endoscopic techniques. This book brings together the expertise of leading practitioners and researchers at the forefront of these transformative fields.

The growing impact of low back pain on individuals' health and lifespan is a significant concern, and this volume begins by addressing this issue with a focus on future care models that support healthy longevity. The book offers insights into targeted strategies for improving patient outcomes. Advancements in cell-based regeneration are crucial for treating degenerative disc disease. The current concepts and limitations of these strategies, highlighting both the potential and challenges in this evolving field, are discussed in depth. The clinical applications of regenerative strategies are further explored by providing a global perspective on the burden of low back pain and the promise of innovative treatments. Bioengineering strategies for injured or degenerative intervertebral discs are examined, and cutting-edge approaches to disc repair and regeneration are presented. Additionally, an in-depth look at current therapy strategies for vertebral endplates is provided, summarizing valuable information on treatment options for these critical structures. Stem cell therapy holds great promise for spinal cord injury, and the current concepts and advancements in this area are discussed, showcasing the potential for significant breakthroughs in patient recovery and rehabilitation. Minimally invasive and endoscopic techniques continue to revolutionize peripheral nerve decompression, as in ultrasound-guided or single portal endoscopic carpal tunnel release. These innovative approaches offer less invasive solutions for patients suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome. The use of ozone and PRP injections for symptomatic lumbar herniated discs is covered, and the respective chapter provides insights into these emerging treatment modalities and their effectiveness in alleviating pain and improving function. Lastly, the potential of allogeneic stem cell therapy for painful intermediate lumbar degenerative discs is explored, offering a glimpse into the future of regenerative medicine for spinal conditions.

Each chapter in this volume is carefully selected to reflect contemporary trends and innovations in regenerative medicine and endoscopic techniques as they apply to neuroendoscopy and interventional pain management. This book aims to meet the demands of patients, healthcare providers, and policymakers by addressing the need for safer, more efficient, and cost-effective solutions. The editors hope that Vol. 1 of Neuroendoscopy and Interventional Pain Medicine: Regenerative Medicine & Peripheral Nerve Endoscopy serves as an invaluable resource for clinicians and researchers dedicated to advancing the field and improving patient care.
